Looking at Xiaobai, which was stubbornly digging in the soil, Ruan Tang suddenly felt an itch to slap it. Why was it so disobedient after returning to the cultivation world?
Could it be that this little thing was really pent up back in that other world?!
But, given the immense destructive power of the wolf king's self-destruction, there shouldn't be any treasures left at that spot.
Just as she was lost in thought, Yan Yu took Ruan Tang's small hand and said, "Stop thinking about it, let's go see what's there."
"good."
The two walked over to Xiaobai and watched as its two little paws frantically dug at the hard rock, their movements so fast that only the afterimages of their paws could be seen.
It took quite a while before it dug a small, shallow pit in the ground.
"Squeak!"
Little White looked up at Ruan Tang dejectedly. "Master, there's something underground, a big guy down there. Quickly help the mouse dig it up!"
Yan Yu squatted down. Since his divine sense couldn't penetrate the ground yet, he used his mental power to probe the small pit that Xiao Bai had dug.
Soon, his mental energy encountered a solid barrier.
Golden spiritual energy, following the trajectory of mental power, pierced deep into the barrier.
With a sharp "crack," something shattered like glass.
His arm muscles tensed, and he managed to pry out a dark red demon core the size of a washbasin from the hard rock.
The demon core was extremely heavy, almost causing his wrist to drop.
It is covered with complex natural patterns, which, in the dim light of the canyon, resemble the heart of a living creature, radiating a faint blood-red halo.
A surge of pure, intense energy rushed towards us, making the surrounding air thick and heavy when inhaled.
"This is... a demon core?" Ruan Tang was a little uncertain. Ordinary demon cores are relatively round, but the one in front of her had serrated edges, as if it had been peeled out of the body by some external force.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
When Xiao Bai saw Yan Yu pick up the entire demon core, its two dark purple beady eyes widened. It pounced on Yan Yu's lap, wagging its big tail obsequiously.
Yan Yu expressionlessly picked up Xiaobai, placed it on his shoulder, and said coldly, "This thing can't be eaten. The energy inside is too violent. Do you want to die?"
He placed the heavy demon core on the stone platform to the side.
The two observed it carefully for a long time but still couldn't figure out what it was. It was called a demon core, but it wasn't quite the same. It was called a demon core, but it felt a bit fleshy to the touch.
Ruan Tang carefully probed into the depths with a tiny wisp of her divine sense.
The next second.
A violent, bloodthirsty will, filled with a destructive desire, seemed to have found an outlet, and savagely rushed into her mind along with her consciousness!
Inside that demon core, it was as if an ancient, ferocious beast on the verge of madness was imprisoned, roaring at her through a wall, trying to tear her soul apart on the spot!
"Hmm!"
Ruan Tang let out a muffled groan, her body swayed violently, and her small face turned pale instantly, as if all the color had been drained from her.
She was breathing heavily, her heart pounding wildly.
How...how scary!
This willpower is too insane; it's definitely not something a second-tier demon beast could possess!
“Brother, this thing… is probably a fragment of a third-tier or even higher-tier demon core!” Ruan Tang’s voice trembled with lingering fear. “Moreover, the owner of this demon core must have been an extremely ferocious beast in his lifetime.”
A third-tier demonic beast—that's an existence that can rival a Golden Core cultivator!
How did a fragment of its demon core end up on the outskirts of the Shattered Star Mountain Range? And how did it end up being secretly hidden by a tiny Shadow Fang Wolf King?
